Pianos About Town (cover)
Sit down, relax and play a tune on one of the many colorfully painted pianos randomly placed throughout Fort Collins and the CSU campus. Pianos About Town started in 2010 as a collaboration among the Bohemian Foundation, the Downtown Development Authority, the City of Fort Collins, business owners and community members. Donated pianos are paired with a local artist or artist group and from there each artist makes their piano design come to life to bring spontaneous music and local art to the streets of Fort Collins. Since 2010, more than 80 pianos have been collected, decorated and placed into rotation at sites throughout the city.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY A city of more than 160,100 residents, Fort Collins continues to be one of the nation’s most attractive cities in which to live. The state’s fourth largest city is 65 miles north of Denver, named for a short-lived military installation established in 1864 on the banks of the Cache la Poudre River, which flows through the city. Colorado State University makes an intentional, consistent, and annual commitment to the community and region and continues to be the city’s largest employer and a regional economic driver. Whether it’s watching one of the school’s athletic teams in action or participating in a wide variety of campus events, the University provides a wealth of activities for residents, such as the University Center of the Arts (UCA), the summer Lagoon Concert Series, as well as a variety of lectures throughout the year.
ABOUT FORT COLLINS
Old Town is a collection of 23 historic buildings that served as the model for Disneyland’s Main Street USA. The city’s most recognizable feature is about a mile north of CSU’s main campus with easy access via the MAX line or TransFort bus service. Old Town features unique shopping and more than 80 restaurants and brewpubs as the city’s nightlife hub. Regarded as one of the nation’s most livable cities, Fort Collins annually ranks among the leaders in surveys of health, fitness and wellness. The city has also earned the reputation as an innovation hub by attracting entrepreneurs from across the nation to live and work locally. Fort Collins enjoys a moderate, four-season climate with low humidity and more than 300 days of sunshine annually. The city boasts 600 acres of parks, 30,000 acres of natural areas, 29 miles of hiking and biking trails, a wealth of public golf courses, plus a racquet center, three public swimming pools, an ice rink and several community centers.
NOTABLES
Lt. Col. John Mosley, recipient of the 2017 CSU Founders Day Medal, had a determined approach to life that made him a pioneer on and off the athletic field. Mosley was the first Black football player on record at Colorado State beginning in 1939 and was later a Tuskegee Airman who served his college, state and country. Hattie McDaniel, who moved to Fort Collins from Denver, is best known for her role as Mammy in Gone With The Wind, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. McDaniel, who appeared in more than 300 films, was the first Black woman to sing on radio in the United States.

In 2014, the Gallup Poll reported that 94.9 percent of Fort Collins residents were satisfied with the city — more than any other American city. Fort Collins has the most microbreweries per capita in Colorado and produces 70 percent of the state’s craft beer. That’s even more impressive when you think that the state is ranked first in the nation for craft breweries per capita, number one in beer volume, and number two in number of craft breweries by state and in craft beer volume. In 2015, Fort Collins was named one of the top 10 healthiest cities one of the 50 Best College Towns to Live in Forever, and one of America’s Most Innovative Tech Hubs. In 2016, Esquire Magazine named Fort Collins the 5th happiest city in America.
COMMITMENT TO CAMPUS You don’t have to look very hard to find Colorado State University’s influence in Fort Collins.
CSU, established just six years after Fort Collins officially came into existence in 1864, long has been the driving force behind the city’s growth and development. Not only is CSU the city’s largest employer, the University and its students are the primary economic and cultural players. It is a remarkable partnership 147 years in the making, and it has helped both thrive. CSU’s influence in Fort Collins, however, goes much deeper than simple dollars. Look at the beaming faces of more than 3,000 kids every year as they receive their very own supplyfilled backpack from CSU’s School is Cool program. Or watch students work up a sweat collecting food for the needy during the annual Cans Around the Oval celebration. Or feel the community spirit as friends and families gather during the summer for the Lagoon Concert Series.
C ANS A ROU ND T HE OVAL
Cans Around the Oval is a great example of CSU and its students taking action on the commitment to outreach through the university’s land- grant mission. Initiated in 1986, Cans Around the Oval has become the largest annual food and fund drive in Northern Colorado, collecting more than 2 million pounds of food and $195,000 for the Food Bank of Larimer County.
SCHO O L IS CO O L
Like Cans around the Oval, School is Cool is a uniquely CSU initiative that has become an invaluable asset for kids in Poudre School District. The employee-driven program, which began in 1991, provides grade-specific school supplies and new backpacks to PSD to distribute to students based on need. In 25 years, School is Cool has steadily grown and has provided more than 40,000 backpacks to the city’s kids.
CO M M U NIT Y ENG AG EM ENT
CSU has partnered with the Downtown Business Association to sponsor some of the city’s many popular events and traditions such as New West Fest, the Old Town Car Show, where our engineering students enjoy highlighting their automotive innovations, downtown concerts, and other popular events. And, as has been the case for more than a century, CSU prides itself on being the intellectual epicenter of Northern Colorado. The popular President’s Community Lecture Series highlights the University’s outstanding programs and faculty. The series, a gift to the city to celebrate its sesquicentennial, features four annual lectures and invites the public to campus to hear about exciting breakthroughs taking place at CSU. Founded on the principle of outreach, the University proudly continues that tradition more than 147 years later and continues to explore new ways to strengthen its commitment to Fort Collins.
RAMtastic Facts Founded in 1870 Student Population (2015): 32,236 Elevation: 5,003 feet Campus Size: 583 acres Previous Name: Aggies, Colorado A&M The Oval is the centerpiece of campus. Surrounded by majestic trees and some of CSU’s oldest buildings, the Oval measures 2,063 feet around. CSU’s first official school colors were alfalfa and pumpkin – a tribute to the school’s agricultural roots. Fort Collins, known for its tree-lined streets in and around campus, has been given a Tree City, USA award for the past 33 years. Peanuts the Bulldog became CSU’s first unofficial mascot in 1912. A ram became the Aggies mascot in 1946, and CAM the Ram became the official mascot in 1954. The “A” painted on the hill above Hughes Stadium has been an area landmark since 1923. It measures 450 feet high by 210 feet wide. Cans Around the Oval, an annual event since 1987, is the largest food drive in northern Colorado.

LETICS
ATHLETIC S Colorado State University sponsors 16 varsity sports – all of them dedicated to excellence. The Rams are in the midst of a historic run of across-the-board success in both men’s and women’s athletics, and have positioned themselves to achieve even more in the coming years. The football program recently qualified for its fourth consecutive bowl game – the second longest such streak in school history. And the Rams are expected to be moved in 2017. The volleyball team – the very model of sustained excellence – dominates the Mountain West Conference and has appeared in a remarkable 22 consecutive NCAA Tournaments. The Rams are immensely popular, regularly drawing large enthusiastic crowds that have pushed CSU into the top 15 nationally in attendance on an annual basis. The women’s basketball program is a surging powerhouse, winning three consecutive conference titles and coming off a memorable season that included 30 wins and the Rams’ first Top 25 rankings in more than a decade. The men’s basketball program draws raucous crowds and has earned postseason invitations in six of the past seven seasons. CSU excels in both track and field and cross country. The men’s team has emerged as the dominant program in the Mountain West in both sports, and the women’s programs are right on their male counterparts’ heels. Producing All-Americans in both sports has become a regular occurrence.
ATHLETIC FAC ILITIES Once every 50 years or so, CSU turns the campus and the surrounding Fort Collins area on its collective ear. And in 2017, it happens once again. The highly anticipated on-campus stadium makes its official debut in September, hosting Abilene Christian in the football opener. The eyepopping facility, with room for 41,000 fans, replaces Hughes Stadium and becomes the Rams’ first on-campus football venue since 1967. The stadium, however, is much more than a place to play football. It will house classrooms and other academic space, the Michael & Iris Smith Alumni Center, and offices for athletic administration. It will host numerous special events, including the inaugural FORTitude 10K Labor Day Classic, which will be the first official event. Moby Arena is the home of “Moby Madness” – a frenetic fan atmosphere that gives the Rams a distinct home-court advantage. Men’s and women’s basketball, along with the Rams’ volleyball team, play home games In Moby, which seats nearly 9,000 fans. Women’s tennis has its home at the CSU tennis facility south of the main campus, and Jack Christiansen Track is home to the men’s and women’s track programs. CSU also has an indoor practice facility used by all sports, as well as the Academic and Training Center at the McGraw Athletic Center.

TRADITIONS AND HOMECOMING
The CSU Open House and Community Ice Cream Social wraps up the summer Lagoon Concert Series (see page 43) on Aug. 9. Then alumni and the entire Ram Family come back to campus for Homecoming Oct. 13-15. The first Homecoming was Oct. 30, 1914, founded by thenPresident Charles Lory as a banquet for alumni. According to the 1914 Collegian, it was a relatively small affair, and the theme was “1944,” with everyone dressing up as if it were 30 years in the future. Homecoming became a more prominent event for students and alumni in the 1930s. The weekend festivities started with a morning assembly, a freshmen initiation to the campus, the announcement of Homecoming royalty, a parade, and an evening dance. All of this preceded the main event of the weekend, the Homecoming football game.
In the years since, Homecoming has blossomed into a much broader event that includes: • Family Weekend activities • Class and organizational reunions • The 50 Year Club Luncheon • Festival on the Oval • The parade, which starts in Old Town and concludes on campus • Bonfi re, fi reworks, and the lighting of the “A” • The annual Homecoming 5K race, which has been part of the festivities for more than 35 years, attracting more than 1,500 participants. • Football tailgate and game at the new on-campus stadium

THE OVAL The Oval’s elm-shaded paths provide a pleasant space for visitors and students alike to amble, study, or relax. During his long tenure (1909-40), President Charles A. Lory conceived of the Oval to unify the CSU campus. Ringing the Oval are the University’s most historic buildings, including – counterclockwise from Ammons Hall (1921): The Institute for Learning and Teaching, formerly the Music Building (1927), the Weber Building (1922); the Statistics Building (1910); the Wagar Building (1939); the Administration Building (1924); Johnson Hall (1935); the Gibbons Building (1903); the Occupational Therapy Building (1919); Laurel Hall (1882); Guggenheim Hall (1910); and Danforth Chapel (1954). As the college grew into a university, the campus expanded westward.

THE LAGOON Many students find this a pleasant place to linger and enjoy the view of the foothills; it is also the site of the University’s free summer Lagoon Concert series. As you cross the Vietnam Memorial Bridge, think of Old Main, the first academic building on campus. After it burned down in 1970, some of its bricks were incorporated into the bridge.

High Altitude – Be Aware Fort Collins sits approximately 5,000 feet above sea level, so visitors should take some precautions. There’s less oxygen at high altitude, so take it easy and remember to drink plenty of water. If you’re going to be outdoors for any length of time, particularly during the spring and summer months, remember to apply sunscreen. Skin burns easily in the thin air.
